How do I configure the Media Director to work with a common Conextant/Brooktree 878 base card? This particular card (TV Wonder VE) worked in my Debian Distribution -- prior to intallation into a newly built Pluto box.

I selected the Blackbird Card because that was the closest to my needs but no go.

Thanks all!

I think that mythtv still has to be setup by hand.... Setup on web page you talk about is I guess more about adding ivtv or other drivers to the MD. And I think you don't need any of that for bttv card. You just set it up in mythsetup as you used to do in mythtv...

I'm not 100% on this (I own pvr350 card)...

HTH,

Thanks Rob,

That's just the approach to take. Now I'll install Mythtv on a separate machine with a bttv card, learn how Myth works, then set it up in Pluto.
